What factors contribute to the difficulty of extinguishing lithium-ion battery fires on aircraft?

The increasing number of lithium-ion batteries carried on planes (an average of four per passenger) correlates with a rise in battery-related incidents, now reaching up to two per week. The FAA has banned these packs from checked baggage, yet many passengers still place them there, increasing the difficulty of extinguishing fires should they occur.
